Abnormal

"Ms. More, has Mr. Park and Mr. Min ever shown any aggressive behavior towards each other?"

"N-No," I quickly shake my head.

"He and Jimin have never even crossed paths with each other."

Since it's Commander Namjoon I'm talking to, I feel less tense.

"Ms. More...Mr. Park was found...dismembered."

I feel my insides quiver.

"Wh-What?"

"...Family and friends asked us to go check on him since they couldn't get in contact with him and...we found his...head and his arms inside the house."

Covering my mouth when I gag, my eyes become blurry.

"Please breathe, Ms. More." He gently pats my back.

"Y-You think Mr. Min did it to him?" I ask in so much disbelief.

He slowly nods.

"Some witnesses...saw you and Mr. Min together yesterday afternoon and...some said he was confessing his love to you even though he is married."

I could barely respond until I hear sudden furious yelling from Mrs. Min.

"You filthy trash!" She cries as Commander Namjoon holds her away from me.

"I knew you were trying to steal him from me! You w***e!" She spits as tears run down her face.

"Get her out of here!" Commander Namjoon yells to another officer.

"Let go of me!" Her voice echos from upstairs.

I was sure all of this woke Sung-Shu...

"Ms. More, we think it's best that you stay away from Mr. Min until we know what to do." He says.

"Lavana, please stop crying," Hoseok mutters after Commander Namjoon escorted me.

"I-It's my fault." I harshly sob as my whole body shakes.

"Lavana, he hurt you."

"I know he did but...I would never have wished him dead for it."

In some sick way, I guess I did still have love for Jimin.

Hoseok sighs.

"Lavana, maybe you shouldn't leave the house for a while."

"Wh-Why?"

"The town's people...you know how our town is when it comes so such foul actions, whether they're true or not. I don't want to risk anyone hurting you."

My body feels cold as I can only imagine how much more sickening I must be to them.

"Just stay inside until things settle down, alright?"

I silently nod.

"I'm going to go see Dr. Jin for a while, alright? Just stay here until I'm back."

****

I woke up to see the sun went down and Hoseok wasn't back.

I hesitantly look out the window to see not many people were out so late.

Quickly grabbing my hat, I rush out the door.

Getting to his front door without anyone seeing me, I quickly knock on his door.

"L-Lavana?"

My eyes widen a bit as I see red on his white shirt.

He nervously chuckles.

"S-Sorry, I just finished cleaning up some wine I spilled. Come in." He says.

"I-I won't stay long," I say after he shuts the door.

"But Hoseok told me he was coming to see you...but he hasn't been back for hours."

He looks a bit concerned.

"Hoseok left hours ago. Are you sure he didn't return?"

I slowly nod.

"Take a seat. I'll give Namjoon a call for you, hm?"

I watch him go into his living room before I look around and notice a little cracked door.

Glancing at his back to see him at the phone, I quietly go over to hear little whimperings of pain.

My curiosity gets the better of me as I creep down the little stairs.

"L-Lavana..."

I try not to scream in horror as I harshly cover my mouth.

"H-Hoseok."

I see so much red that my vision slowly turns black.
